Why do I have so much itching?

Q:I am a 67 years old woman having a itching problem in my legs. I have osteoporosis and a low haemoglobin count too. Why is this so?

A:Itching at your age in the extremities is common because of age and weather both - I wonder if you have any other illness like Diabetes, thyroid, etc or are you taking any other drugs. Try applying Betnovate cream mixed with cold cream in equal ratio twice a day and take a tab of Allegra 180 mg once in the evening. Do check this with your doctor as well.
